Your GPUs should be accelerating AI, not recomputing context 🔄
In this demo, Barak Epstein, Product Manager at Google Cloud, shows how Managed Lustre can be used as a KV cache for inferencing. By saving context outside GPU or TPU memory, teams can retrieve precomputed context, reduce recomputation, and improve accelerator efficiency for large-context AI workloads.
